Pampushka

pampushki, pampushky, pampushka, пампушки

Pampushka is a small savory or sweet yeast-raised bun or doughnut typical for Ukrainian cuisine. The Ukrainian word pampukh comes via Polish pampuch (a kind of thick dumpling or steamed doughnut) from German Pfannkuchen ("pancake"). Similarly to English "pancake", the latter derives from Pfanne ("pan") and Kuchen ("cake"). The diminutive form pampushka is used more frequently than the basic form. Pampushky are made of yeast dough from wheat, rye or buckwheat flour. Traditionally they are baked, but may also be fried. Savoury pampushky have no filling. They are usually seasoned with garlic sauce and often served as a side dish with red borscht or yushka. Sweet pampushky may be filled with fruits, berries, varenye, povydlo, or poppy seeds, and topped with powdered sugar.
